Shane’s

AKA Hero Dirt. Yes, your ideal conditions that you want to hit up first before any of your friends find out. Sure you want to keep it low key, but be a good trail steward and let your buddies know its time to shred.

Shane’s trail is one of the staples of Boise trail routes. Shane’s loop (counterclockwise) is popular because it makes a nice hour-ish long ride from town, with a flowy descent and only one little painful climbing section. It’s smooth, with no technical or otherwise notable features to speak of. It’s a good loop for beginner mountain bikers looking to get a little further from town. It’s also popular with runners.

Ben B March 11, 2018 at 8:46 pmCompletely dry and riding great. Even the section on the lower north side that’s usually muddy.
